Scumcat Esq. Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 This is a great fan opportunity. I guess they really care about sounding good at the Governors Ball because with only 600 tickets I can't see they would be making any money.It's going to be a bit like having the band play in your house.I do not think this is to make money, this one is for the lucky hard core fans that get tix That's what I think too.

Patience 4 Axl Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 You seriously don't see how Axl playing a 600-seat BOWLING ALLEY could have negative connotations for the band?From being the biggest band in the world to playing weddings and bowling alleys. Those are places that bands like Warrant with a new singer and Great White with a new singer and Ratt with a new singer play.And why would they need a warmup? They are in the middle of touring right now.Except they're not the biggest band in the world anymore. So this is what it comes down too.I don't know if I'd say it's a warm up gig either considering the timing. But what it's certainly not is an intimate show for the average fan at $150 / ticket.

smokingarthur Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I was able to secure a ticket but when it took me to the checkout page it wouldn't let me proceed without logging into a Facebook account (I don't have account anymore). I would have went since I'm in the area right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Guys this is for the hard core fans, the fanclub fans, etc etc. This is not an indication that GNR have to play bowling alleys etc etc etc.This one is for you, it is a special show for the fans to get REAL close. Some of you don't understand that and never will I guess.If you got tix for this, congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaneda Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 First, you can still get tickets with the fan Pre-Sale login - the pass word is nightRainsecondarily...for those of you bitching about $150. It's 2013 in New York City. That is a bar tab for the night. GNR's older fans won't blink twice at this price and when I think of all the money I've spent just commuting to GNR shows, this is a fucking bargain. Quit all the bitch slap rappin suckers and get your tickets while they last. THen we can start planning the pre-party wooohooo...I live two blocks from the venue!!!

jmapelian Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 150 is too steep to see this incarnation of GnR - and who says this tour isn't a cash grab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsguy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) 150 is too steep to see this incarnation of GnR - and who says this tour isn't a cash grab?do the math before posting.ticket $150 x 600 tix = is full price total of $90,000, now pay everyone else and Axl gets zero $ for being there. Nice try Edited June 4, 2013 by gunsguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheri_Rose Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) 150 is too steep to see this incarnation of GnR - and who says this tour isn't a cash grab?As someone who has not seen GNR but has seen other acts who charged more for their tickets ( Gaga was 250.00 and the seats were no where near the floor ), I think this is a decent price and one I'd pay as it'd only be me going. If my partner tagged along I'd balk a tad more. As for this tour being a cash grab, you expect the guy to play for free orfor hardly anything at all? I don't think so.

gunsguy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) huh?it costs alot to bring these guys around, crew, band etc...BTW I wish people would NOT post the promo code as this increases the odds of scalpers buying them instead of you...

ManetsBR Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 150$ is not expensive for a concert. Here in Brazil it costs twice that plus a kidney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magisme Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I didn't think Axl could bring out the fanboy in me again, but I decided to say fuck it. Got 2 tickets. One for me, one for my brother.Axl better fucking bring it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same band that never updated the CD booklet or released the shows that they promised or delivered worth a shit to nighttrain members.I think people need a little more than a FFS to confirm it's a gig for the fans.

YES we know and they know they have fucked up many times, having said that they are working on it, this is an example of things to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think this will be a cool gig to attend. Well done to those who got tickets, I guess they are trying to make good their promised to nightrain members about exclusive stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
